Trocchio Takes Final Bobcat Athlete of the Week

May 22, 2012

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Freshman Ryan
Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) of the No. 15 Georgia College
golf team was named Bobcat Athlete of the Week for his efforts in
the week ending May 20, the GC sports information office announced
Tuesday. This marks the first such honor for Trocchio and the
fourth for Bobcat golf this season.

Trocchio led the Bobcats to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA
National Championship this past week. During the stroke-play
portion, he was six under par for the three rounds, shooting rounds
of 70, 73 and then a final-round low 67. This play continued into
the medal-match play round, as he topped CSU-Stanislaus’ No.
1 player Trevor Blair 71-74.

The Bobcats had a phenomenal 2011-12 campaign, winning an NCAA
South/Southeast SuperRegional Championship without the benefit of a
single senior. The region title was just the second in school
history, and the Bobcats put three on the All-Peach Belt Conference
(PBC) teams in Patrick Garrett, Trocchio and
Taylor Smith. Trocchio added PBC
Freshman of the Year honors as well.

The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of
the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs
at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat
Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the
student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in
post-season competition as well as documented academic success and
community-service involvement. Sign up at
